If Apple encrypts the Type-C interface of iPhone 15, it will violate EU law

Long ago, it was rumored online that iPhone 15 would use USB Type-C interface. However, according to relevant information, Apple is likely to encrypt the USB Type-C interface of iPhone 15, and as long as it is not a matching charging device, it will be limited in charging speed. In response to this news, the European Union recently reiterated that if Apple insists on taking such measures, it will violate EU laws.

On March 14th, it was announced that Apple will launch the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15Pro series phones this autumn, and in order to comply with new EU laws, these phones will use the USB-C interface. The new EU law requires manufacturers to use the USB-C open standard for their devices. However, there are rumors that Apple may implement its MFi (Made For iPhone) certification program for USB-C accessories, thereby grading charging cables and accessories. However, this approach may lead Apple to violate EU laws.

According to relevant revelations, the four models of the iPhone 15 series no longer use pure straight edge design, and the curved edge design has officially returned. The connection between its frame and back panel, as well as the middle frame and screen, has undergone curved surface treatment, which to some extent reduces the discomfort during grip.

The entire iPhone 15 series comes standard with Lingdong Island, with iPhone 15 and iPhone 15Plus using dual cameras, while iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max use three cameras. The screen size of the standard version of iPhone 15 has been upgraded to 6.2 inches, which means it is no longer compatible with the protective case of iPhone 14.

In terms of configuration, Apple will still increase the differentiation between the standard and Pro versions. The standard version uses a 60Hz screen and is equipped with the Apple A16 chip, while the Pro and Pro Max use ProMotion screens with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and are equipped with the Apple A17 biomimetic chip.

From the current situation, the EU is determined to unify the charging interface. If Apple continues to persist, it is highly likely to be rejected from entering the European market, which is unacceptable for Apple. In the end, the editor believes that Apple is likely to compromise.
